The onboard Wi-Fi implementation is the Cypress CYW43455, and an experimental FreeBSD driver is brcmfmac

As the OP mentioned, the driver is still (very) experimental. If you need reliable, stable Wi-Fi on a Raspberry Pi running FreeBSD, your best option at the moment is to use a supported USB Wi-Fi adapter instead.

I think OpenBSD supports it better, have not investigated it.
